High efficiency is often required for quality control applications. The SMX-800 is a system developed specially to meet such needs, comprising a touch screen display, a joystick, an intuitive user interface, and a newly designed high-speed stage, which reduces the time required for launching the software before inspections. It allows anyone to simply and rapidly detect minor defects in the circuit boards and electronics.

Digital home electronics, cell phones, cell phone terminals and other high-tech products make our contemporary life increasingly convenient. The electronic components that support these technologies include ever-increasing functionality and part-mounting densities, and have a minute, complex, multi-layer structure.　For components such as these, a simple external inspection is not sufficient. Instead, non-destructive checking of internal connections using X-rays, as well as inspections for broken wires, short circuits and other defects are increasingly important. Furthermore, analyzing these defects non-destructively and then identifying their causes makes it possible to improve both product quality and reliability.

Automotive Industry

Facing ever stronger calls to ensure automobile safety and to maintain part strength and performance, the automotive industry is making extensive use of X-ray inspections to ensure metal parts contain no air pockets or cracks. Recently, electronic control unit in automobiles has increased with the introduction of hybrid engines designed to reduce fuel consumption. Electronic component usage has also surged to improve in-vehicle convenience and safety. These components all undergo internal connection checks and inspections for broken wires, short circuits and other defects, enabling improvement of quality control and reliability.

Life Science/Pharmaceutical/New Materials Industries

In the life sciences, our microfocus CT (Micro-CT) technology has been utilized in a number of research fields, including osteoporosis, dental treatments, regenerative medicine, and implant treatments. One example is its use for small-animal bone mass inspection, due to the insufficient resolution provided by standard medical X-rays and CT scans.
